Clinical and densitometric researches in patients with the terminal stage of gonarthrosis and decrease in bone mineral density allow determining the condition of knee joint endoprosthesis. In the process of research women took part; their average age made up 57 years (max. 84 years old, min. 52 years old – menopausal age). X-ray densitometry (dual energy absorptiometry) before and after surgery (in 12 months). Patients were divided into two (main and control) groups depending on further treatment schedule. Studying the treatment results was carried out using the method of criteria calculation – f* (Fisher) by the method of mathematical treatment. Densitometric data analysis before and after operation showed after operation in the main group of women, who took osteotropic drugs as compared to the indicators of control group, significant bone density increase. The growth in bone mineral density of the main group by the year end made up on the average 60%, in control group – 18,75%.

Objective: To verify the effect of recreational soccer on bone mineral density and sarcopenia in the elderly. Methods: Fourteen elderly people aged 65.9 ± 3.4 years were selected. They were separated into two groups: the intervention group and the control group; the intervention group played recreational soccer for 12 weeks on two days of the week. Assessments were performed for bone mineral density and body muscle mass before and after the intervention. For statistical analysis, the repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post hoc test was used. Results: After 12 weeks, there was a significant change in bone mineral density in the region of the total femur (p = 0.020). Analyzing the participants’ sarcopenia, no significant results were found after the intervention period. Conclusion: Playing recreational soccer causes a significant improvement in the total femur and maintains bone regions in the spine, whole body, and femoral neck. Also, it promotes a removal from the threshold for sarcopenia screening in the elderly.

Introduction. It is well known that physical activity has an anabolic effect on the bone tissue. But there is a lack of information about the effect of intensive physical activity in childhood, particularly at the prepubertal stage. The type, frequency, intensity, and duration of activity that best produce the desired increases in mass and strength of human bones have not yet been well determined. Material and methods. To examine the influence of different kinesiological treatments on body composition and bone mineral density we studied a group of prepubertal boys at the starting phase of their peak bone mass acquisition. 90 healthy prepubertal boys took part in this study. The sport group consisted of 28 swimmers (aged 10.80.8) and 32 soccer players (aged 10.70.5), who had been training their chosen high-level sport activity for at least 1 year (8-12h per week for swimmers, 10-15h per week for soccer players). 30 boys (aged 11.2?0.7) doing 1.5h per week of physical activity in school served as a control group. Bone mineral density measurements of the left and right calcaneus were done by ultrasound densitometer 'Sahara'. The body composition was assessed by Body Fat Analyser 'BES 200 Z'. Results. There were significant differences between soccer players and control group as regards fat mass and bone mineral density (p<.01). Besides, significant differences were determined between a group of swimmers and control group as regads fat mass (p<.03), while the differences in bone mineral density were not very obvious (p<.67).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of denosumab (Dmab) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers after 1 year of treatment. Additionally, the effect of Dmab in bisphosphonate-naïve patients (BP-naïve) compared to patients previously treated with bisphosphonates (BP-prior) was analyzed. This retrospective study included 425 postmenopausal women treated with Dmab for 1 year in clinical practice conditions in specialized centers from Argentina. Participants were also divided according to previous bisphosphonate treatment into BP-naïve and BP-prior. A control group of patients treated with BP not switched to Dmab matched by sex, age, and body mass index was used. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. After 1 year of treatment with Dmab the bone formation markers total alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin were significantly decreased (23.36% and 43.97%, resp.), as was the bone resorption marker s-CTX (69.61%). Significant increases in BMD were observed at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip without differences between BP-naïve and BP-prior. A better BMD response was found in BP-prior group compared with BP treated patients not switched to Dmab.Conclusion. Dmab treatment increased BMD and decreased bone turnover markers in the whole group, with similar response in BP-naïve and BP-prior patients. A better BMD response in BP-prior patients versus BP treated patients not switched to Dmab was observed.

Introduction. Vitamin D active metabolites deficit that is altered by negative calcium and phosphorus balance is a potential complication during long?term antiepileptic drug therapy. Objective. The aim of this study was to examine lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) in epileptic children receiving antiepileptic drug therapy longer than one year. methods. The examined sample consisted of 34 epileptic children, 18 male and 16 female, aged 6?12 (9.77?2.01) years, treated with carbamazepine, valproate, phenobarbital, lamotrigine or their combination without vitamin D supplementation. The lumbar spine BMD (L1?L4) was estimated by a Lunar densitometer and obtained results were compared with results of 35 matched population of healthy children from the control group. results. Lumbar BMD Z?score was significantly lower in female patients treated with antiepileptic therapy compared with those in the control group (?1.048?1.35 vs. ?0.399?0.518; p=0.03). Bone mineral density Z?score decrease of both gender groups receiving antiepileptic polytherapy was significantly lower compared to the control group (?1.153?0.938 vs. ?0.043?0.815; p=0.007). Therapy duration had no influence on the lumbar BMD level decrease either in boys (rxy=0.33; p=0.174) or in girls (rxy=0.02; p=0.935) treated with antiepileptic therapy. Conclusion. Our results have indicated that antiepileptic drug therapy usage longer than one year can have adverse affects on the lumbar spine BMD (L1?L4) in epileptic children, and that prophylactic vitamin D supplementation is also necessary in these patients.

Abstract Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur around the stem decreases due to stress shielding after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). When severe stress shielding occurs, the risk of periprosthetic femoral fractures increases, and this bone loss can also increase the difficulty of future revision THA. Denosumab is known to improve the quality and strength of cortical bone in the proximal femurs of patients with osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether denosumab prevents loss of proximal femoral periprosthetic BMD in cementless THA using a tapered wedge stem in patients with osteoporosis.Methods: Sixty-three consecutive patients who had undergone unilateral primary THA using a tapered wedge stem were included in this retrospective study. Twenty-four patients who received denosumab for osteoporosis were the denosumab group, and the 39 without denosumab were the control group. At 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after THA, bone turnover markers and femoral periprosthetic BMD were measured.Results: BMD in zone 1 was significantly increased from baseline at both 6 and 12 months after THA in the denosumab group and significantly decreased in the control group. BMD in zone 7 was significantly decreased compared to baseline at both 6 and 12 months after THA in the control group, but not in the denosumab group. The use of denosumab for THA patients with osteoporosis was independently related to preventing loss of periprosthetic BMD of the femur at 12 months after surgery in zones 1 and 7 on multivariate analysis.Conclusions: Denosumab significantly increased proximal femoral periprosthetic BMD in zone 1 and prevented loss of BMD in zone 7 in patients with osteoporosis after cementless THA using a tapered wedge stem at both 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Although it is well established that there is considerable inter-individual variation in the circulating levels of IGF-I in normal, healthy individuals and that a genetic component contributes substantially to this variation, the direct evidence that inter-individual variation in IGF-I contributes to differences in peak bone mineral density (BMD) is lacking. To examine if differences in IGF-I expression could contribute to peak BMD differences, we measured skeletal changes at days 23 (prepubertal), 31 (pubertal) and 56 (postpubertal) in mice with haploinsufficiency of IGF-I (+/−) and corresponding control mice (+/+). Mice (MF1/DBA) heterozygous for the IGF-I knockout allele were bred to generate +/+ and +/− mice (n=18–20 per group). Serum IGF-I was decreased by 23% (P<0.001) in mice with IGF-I haploinsufficiency (+/−) group at day 56 compared with the control (+/+) group. Femoral bone mineral content and BMD, as determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, were reduced by 20% (P<0.001) and 12% respectively in the IGF-I (+/−) group at day 56 compared with the control group. The peripheral quantitative computed tomography measurements at the femoral mid-diaphysis revealed that periosteal circumference (7%, P<0.01) and total volumetric BMD (5%, P<0.05) were decreased significantly in the +/− group compared with the +/+ group. Furthermore, serum IGF-I showed significant positive correlations with both areal BMD (r=0.55) and periosteal circumference (r=0.66) in the pooled data from the +/+ and +/− groups. Our findings that haploinsufficiency of IGF-I caused significant reductions in serum IGF-I level, BMD and bone size, together with the previous findings, are consistent with the notion that genetic variations in IGF-I expression could, in part, contribute to inter-individual differences in peak BMD among a normal population.
